Mu Xue and Mu Xue

Mu Xue stood in the courtyard, and fine snowflakes fluttered down. She raised her hand to catch one, and the crystal snowflake did not melt in her palm, but remained in its original shape.

Snowflakes are beautiful.

Just as she was lost in thought as she stared at the snowflakes in her hand, Ziyuan's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Muxue's thoughts.

"Xue'er, let's go, we're going to pick up your brother!" Ziyuan walked out of the house, turned around and gently closed the door, with a gentle smile on his lips and his eyes full of concern.

In the past few days, the two courtyards of Longhu College have been particularly quiet, so quiet that it feels a bit lonely.

The entire academy seemed to be shrouded in a veil of silence, and the hustle and bustle of the past seemed like a passing cloud.

After all, there are only Muxue and Ziyuan left in the academy now, and Mu Zifeng only comes back occasionally, and each time he stays for a very short time, as if he is busy with many affairs and comes and goes in a hurry.

"Okay, let's go!" Mu Xue was slightly stunned, and then she put away the sadness in her heart.

She took a deep breath, raised the corners of her mouth, and put on her usual smiling face. After all, she knew very well that she couldn't let her relatives see her worried side.

In her mind, the definition of family is no longer limited to blood ties.

Yes, family. This family refers to Lin Mo and Ziyuan.

They spent every day together, and every caring gesture and thoughtful word of Ziyuan made Muxue truly feel the unreserved sincerity. Now, she no longer regarded Ziyuan as an outsider.

The location of [Time Dome Reverse Gap] is extremely secretive, and is actually located in a basement of the imperial palace.

Ziyuan leaned forward slightly, the power of the stars surged around him, and he turned into a stream of light with Muxue and flew straight into the palace.

The architecture of the palace was magnificent, with its flying eaves and brackets sparkling in the sunlight, but at the moment they had no intention of appreciating the magnificent scenery.

The two came to the door of the basement of the palace, which was heavily guarded.

The passages in the basement are intricate and complex, like a huge maze.

At every corner, there stands a tall golden-armored general. They are dressed in heavy armor, holding various weapons, with stern expressions, sharp eyes, and exuding a murderous aura.

After some inquiries, Mu Xue learned that there were three groups of golden armored generals in this maze, with seven people in each group. With such tight defense, one can imagine how important the [Time Dome Reverse Gap] is.

Ziyuan and Muxue struggled forward in the maze, turning around and around, and had to show a token every time they reached a checkpoint.

Those golden-armored generals carefully checked the tokens, looking them up and down, and only let them go after confirming that they were correct.

In this way, they went through many twists and turns before finally arriving at the gate of [Time Dome Reversal].

At this time, there were crowds of people in front of the gate. Yun Yuyao, Yun Jingliu, Yun Qianyou, Mu Zifeng and the Platinum Marshal were all waiting there.

Mu Xue saw Mu Zifeng at a glance, and her heart warmed slightly. (Note: Yun Yuyao did not go to [Time Dome Reverse Gap])

Ziyuan took Muxue through the crowd and came to the gate.

When she approached the gate, Mu Xue discovered that the gate was made of a piece of stone that looked extremely heavy.

Rather than saying it is a piece of stone, it would be more accurate to say that it is made of the same material as this "maze".

The surface of the stone is rough and the texture is intricate. If no one told her that there was a door here, she would never have imagined that this was the entrance to the secret room of [Time Dome Reversal].

"Everyone is here, so let's open the door." Yun Jingliu looked around, his expression calm, and spoke in a low and powerful voice.

Mu Zifeng beside him nodded slightly, his eyes firm.

Immediately afterwards, two beads appeared in the hands of both men at the same time. One was black, and the other was white, like the bright moon and stars in the night sky, emitting a mysterious glow.

There seemed to be a faint halo flowing on the surface of the beads, as if it contained endless power.

Then they pressed their palms onto a flat stone.

For a moment, the air around seemed to freeze, and everyone held their breath, waiting quietly.

Less than a breath later, a groove slowly appeared on their palms. Both grooves were standard circles, and the size just corresponded to the two balls in their hands, as if they were tailor-made for these two beads.

The two men carefully placed the balls in their hands into the grooves above each other's palms. In an instant, a strange power wave spread out from them.

Immediately afterwards, the ground began to vibrate violently, as if a sleeping beast was suddenly awakened and let out a dull roar.

That's right, it was placed into the groove on the other person's palm. This unique way of opening undoubtedly added an extremely sophisticated layer of encryption. It shows how important the secret hidden behind this [Time Dome Reverse Gap] is and why it requires such strict protection.

As the ground continued to shake, the heavy door slowly made a rumbling sound and slowly opened to both sides.

An old and mysterious breath came to my face, and inside the door, there was a chaotic, empty and dangerous portal.

Mu Xue only took one look at the portal, and it left a very deep first impression on her: in the surging black mist, there was a faint flickering of strange light, as if countless unknown whirlpools were surging in it, which could swallow up anything that approached at any time.

After seeing this portal, Mu Xue's inner uneasiness burned more and more fiercely like a ignited flame. Her heartbeat accelerated sharply, and an inexplicable fear spread in her heart.

Mu Xue, feeling nervous, followed the others into the secret room step by step.

Everyone was staring intently at the portal in front of them, and no one noticed that as they stepped in, there was an unknown thing. That thing was hidden in the shadows and slipped in silently, like a hunter who had been waiting for a long time, ready to launch a fatal blow at the most appropriate time.

After completely entering the secret room, Mu Xue realized that there was not only the portal emitting a dangerous aura.

In the center of the secret room, there was something she had seen before. It was a disc, extremely large, with a diameter of dozens of meters.

She tried hard to search her memory to find out where she had seen it before, but her mind was blurry and she couldn't remember it at all. However, she was very sure that she had seen it before.

At this time, Yan Liyu was already waiting in the secret room.

Yan Liyu stood quietly beside the disc with a serious expression. His eyes swept over everyone one by one, as if waiting for something.

Everyone was waiting quietly inside. The atmosphere in the secret room was oppressive and dull, with only the occasional sound of breathing breaking the silence.

During the long wait, time seemed to slow down.

Finally, after a while, the figures of Jiang Hu Meng, Jiang He Meng, Ye Shanyu and Chu Cixiao slowly emerged from the portal.

Their faces were tired and their clothes were a little messy. It was obvious that they had experienced some twists and turns on the other side of the portal.

However, Mu Xue's eyes searched them anxiously over and over again, but she never saw Lin Mo.

Mu Xue's heart suddenly hung in the air and she began to feel uneasy. Her hands unconsciously grasped the corner of Zi Yuan's clothes, and her fingertips turned white from the force.

Her eyes were full of anxiety and worry, her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't say a word.

Ziyuan was keenly aware of Muxue's uneasiness. She patted Muxue's shoulder gently, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, Xue'er, Lin Mo will be out soon, don't worry." But in fact, Ziyuan was also not confident in her heart. After all, it involved the mysterious power that intertwined the elements of time and space. With her limited intellectual strength, it was really difficult for her to grasp the mystery, let alone guarantee Lin Mo's safety.

Just as Ziyuan finished speaking, the entire secret room suddenly began to shake violently, as if these words had triggered some unknown mechanism.

The rocks on the top of the secret room began to loosen, and small pieces of stone fell down, making crisp sounds when they hit the ground.

Ziyuan reacted very quickly and hurriedly hugged Muxue tightly in her arms. Her arms trembled slightly, but she tried hard to protect Muxue in her arms, as if this could isolate Muxue from the dangers of the outside world and calm Muxue's inner panic.
